Pedagogy refers to the art and science of teaching. This section explains how Latcher’s tools support effective learning strategies. At its core, Latcher is a learning engine. Everything we build—Audio Briefs, Insight Notes, Context Maps, and research agents like the Contradictor—exists to help you move from raw information to durable understanding.

​
Audio Briefs – learn by listening

Ideal for auditory learners and time‑starved professionals. Latcher turns any notebook into a studio‑quality conversation that:
  • surfaces the “why it matters” hooks to prime attention,
  • embeds spaced‑repetition call‑backs so key facts stick, and
  • cites every claim so you can trace the source later.
Listen on the commute, during a workout, or while cooking—the brief travels with you.

​
Insight Notes – learn by reading deeply

For the study session at your desk. Insight Notes compress dense material into citation‑first digests that:
  • separate core logic from supporting detail,
  • flag common misconceptions up front, and
  • link out to primary sources for further reading.
They’re purpose‑built handouts for advanced learners who need depth without distraction.

​
Context Maps – learn by seeing structure

When relationships matter more than chronology. Context Maps lay out ideas as an interactive graph, revealing:
  • causal chains,
  • thematic clusters, and
  • overlooked outliers.
Visual learners can zoom from a 10,000‑foot overview down to a single paper in two clicks, turning pattern‑recognition into an everyday habit.

​
Contradictor Agent – learn by challenging assumptions

Bias kills learning faster than boredom. The Contradictor agent injects competing hypotheses and counter‑evidence into your notebook, forcing you to steel‑man the argument before you publish or decide. Human–AI collaboration without abstraction means the system flexes to your learning style—listen, read, visualise, debate—so insight becomes second nature.
